The MartinLogan Foundation Story
MartinLogan Foundation Series products redefine affordability by incorporating many of MartinLogan's renowned high-performance technologies at accessible prices.
Leveraging 40 years of design and engineering prowess and offering MartinLogan’s renowned thin-film performance, Motion® Foundation is a gateway into the world of true hi-fi sound. With a choice of 5 different models in 3 different finishes, Motion® Foundation speakers are an ideal foundation for building a high performance Stereo or Surround sound system. Bringing high end performance to a wider audience, Motion® Foundation offers incredible immersion for all your favorite content.
Motion® Foundation speakers feature the incredible performance of the Gen2 FMT S, bringing much of the same performance found in our/their larger siblings, in a more compact and affordable package. This high-performance tweeter is paired with a custom Folded Motion® Waveguide offering consistent, smooth, and controlled sound across the listening space delivering incredible performance in every seat while also reducing some of the harmful effects of room acoustics. Rounding out the sound are specially designed aluminum woofers for both the midrange and bass drivers offering robust and detailed performance across the board.
Motion® Foundation models are available in 3 elegant finishes to compliment any decor: Black, Satin White, and Walnut.
The Gen2 FMT S offers effortless performance, unmatched by conventional technologies. By folding thin film material, MartinLogan is able to pack more surface area into a small space. Large surface area, light weight and low excursion means an incredibly fast and responsive tweeter capable of reproducing the most nuanced content with stunning detail and clarity.

Aluminum Midrange and Bass Drivers
MartinLogan’s own Motion® XT and Motion® Series, the Motion® Foundation Series uses Aluminum cone woofers to maximize clarity, detail, and output.
Typical center channel designs result in lobing, which negatively alters the tonality of the source material. The 2.5-Way crossover design minimizes these harmful effects culminating in clearer dialogue and higher accuracy.
Secure-Lock Grilles
Stealth mounting tabs securely hold the grilles in place allowing the listener to customize the appearance of each speaker. Creating a unique look; leaving the grilles on, off, or even rotating them to change the grain of the fabric providing maximum aesthetic control.
